Grendel · Feb 14, 2014

Having a chat with someone down the pub tonight and we reckon in our premier league days at least 90% of outlet overseas signings were total rubbish. Other then ndlouv, possibly hadji and Roland neilson we are struggling with anyone decent. Plenty of tripe though!

Roy Wegerle and Chippo? I would also put forward Isaias, I thought he had ability that we just didn't use.

Sky Blue Harry H · Feb 14, 2014

Robbie Keane, George Boateng....come on, I suspect there's a few out there if you try (you'll soon retract your hypothesis!!)

RedSalmon · Feb 14, 2014

Magnus Headman? Always thought he was a decent signing.

Sky Blue Harry H · Feb 14, 2014

Dimi Kontsat

Dimi Konstatnop

Didne Kopmostopalo

Nah.....he was sh^t

JulianDarbyFTW · Feb 14, 2014

Jose Perdomo? He was decent.

dongonzalos · Feb 14, 2014

Big mo.......

dongonzalos · Feb 14, 2014

Hedman
Neilson Mo lalas Jarni
Boatang Hadji Chippo Jones
Wegglie Ndlove

Do players like Wegerle count, he'd already been playing English football for 6 years prior to signing for us, the better test would be considering those who either joined straight from overseas teams or have very little English football experienced.

Soltvedt, Ndlovu, boateng, Hedman....I would exclude Nilsson as he's already had 4 years experience with Wednesday

Isias .....

Point proven! Jones?! Chippo was here to keep hadji company, Jarni is being a WUM, Isaias wasn't a centre half, konjic was crap and Wegerle a makeweight for Gallagher.

Forgot boatang - Keane I don't count.

Grendel · Feb 14, 2014

The main point is most were poor;

Abromovic
Jol
Van Gool
Kaiser
Isaias
Perdomo
That Russian Gould signed
Clement
Norman
Them two from Central America that Richardson signed
Zuniga
Moldovan
Konjic (sorry he was crap)
All those goalkeepers after relegation

The list could go on an on

How dare you? Chippo was legend!

At what?

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 14, 2014

I remember when legend Trifan Ivanov was on trial...a mistake that we never signed the Bulgarian legend.

Grendel · Feb 14, 2014

Who was the hapless centre half who made a debut at old Trafford?

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 14, 2014

Alex Evtushok...I believe we were scouting Svechenko but Milan beat is to it...so we took Alex

fuck me I agree with you the thing is most clubs of our stature could easily have a list that long inseters is even longer.

In genuinely intrigued to know if Dongle this Cobi Jones was a good player.

In the premier league in the 90's I disagree I think the vast majority of better players were British.

slyblue57 · Feb 14, 2014

Roger van Gool !
So far in advance of our playersat the time.
Pusb

Not really. He replaced ray Graydon and it was downhill all the way.

Rusty Trombone · Feb 14, 2014

I thought Safri was a quality player, even though I'd forgotten about him until the other day. Very popular at Norwich as well. Just went about his business in a quiet efficient way.

To be fair he was OK

letsallsingtogether · Feb 14, 2014

Patrick Suffo believe he was at the Alvis last year and still not that old.

letsallsingtogether · Feb 14, 2014

What about Gunner has anyone mentioned him was good on his day.

Isasis was a midfielder Lalas was a centre half.

Mo scrapped player of season?

ccfcway · Feb 14, 2014

in our 1990 squad, we had a 35 man squad, Jose Perdomo was the only overseas player !
